Deep In The Drapery Section
The last two days have been spent deep in the drapery section. Working with my partners, we've sorted, stacked, grouped, bagged, taped securely, and restached roll upon roll upon roll of drapery fabrics. They're long - eight foot - rolls of heavy drapery fabrics. Exhausting. ddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddd I was supposed to have today and tomorrow off only they needed more help today so I'm in for four hours. Apparently there is more stuff and it's taking longer to pack than they had anticipated. Last week, I just wanted the final day to come. This week, I just want to get it all in boxes and get going. After today, my next shift is Friday. If the new location is ready, we'll be working there. If it isn't, we'll have the day off. ddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddd ddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddd dddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddd ddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddd On Sunday - our last day - I picked up a meter and a half of seven different knits.

Hopefully you will have a restful time off from work. Lifting those heavy rolls is hard work.
ReplyDeleteI see you bought the gorgeous sky/turq blue knit. I had my hands on it Saturday but didn't buy it. Loved the colour though. I ended up with an expensive white cotton knit.
Have fun sewing those fabrics.
I've been through similar experiences and it is physically and mentally exhausting. I hope they give you an extra day off.
ReplyDeleteAs for computers, even though I'm an IT person, I don't love updates and new/improved software. In the early days, it was improved and made life easier. These days the improvements are few and difficult to detect. Mostly we are subjected to the indecencies of upgrade glitches for an improved icon or the hiding of a personal favorite software feature. I often froth at the mouth at how "they" moved something for no apparent reason. OKOK rant stop. I feel for you, girl.
